Actual totals depend heavily on how many hours the job takes, a studio can wrap up in a few hours, while a larger house with a full crew often runs eight or nine hours or more. Crew size, stairs, and how far the truck has to park from your door all shift the final number, so it helps to ask each company about their minimum hours and whether the quote is binding rather than relying on averages alone. A separate travel or fuel fee is typically added on top of labor, and heavy or oversized items can push the total higher still, so it pays to mention anything unusual before the crew arrives. The list of Charlestown-area movers below is a solid starting point for comparing crews and requesting exact pricing for your home.

Charlestown refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.53 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $110,432 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Rhode Island report $103,449. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
